What is Email Verification and how to submit your data

The foundation of any email marketing campaign is making sure that your email addresses are valid, and that inactive or invalid emails are removed from your database. Proper data hygiene will help to improve the overall deliverability of your marketing campaign.

Blackbaud’s Email Verification service screens existing email addresses in your database against a group of national consumer databases. We are able to provide verification of email addresses for 50 – 70% of your submitted records. This service does not determine whether the email address is that of the constituent, just if the email address is valid. If an exact match is made, a code of ‘Verified’ is returned and the results can be added in Raiser’s Edge by importing in to the Comments section for the Phone Import ID submitted in the export.

Email addressfinder@blackbaud.com. Provide your Site ID and name of service you would like your file to be screened through (Email Verification). Results will be returned in 3-5 business days. You will be informed by an email notification once the results are ready for download.
